Concerning your recommendations, you no doubt know that the Bloc Québécois has already taken steps in that direction, by introducing Bill C-269. In any case, there is a general consensus regarding the recommendations made to improve the system.
I brought the bill to the human resources committee for debate...
I remember taking the bill to the human resources committee, where it was introduced and debated, and I remember being stunned and shocked by the response we heard from the government, a response I had also heard in the House of Commons, namely, that changing or improving the system would encourage idleness and laziness. I wanted to share that with you.
Your recommendations are in line with that bill. As you know, we are raising the issue again with Bill C-308.
That being said, will the five weeks added by the government make the system more equitable for women?
